[@bobbycasares7705]

i was wondering when you guys where gonna hit us with this classic😎

[@ryanwest9546]

I can't start a new comment, I can only comment on others comments, odd, but I watched this shortly after scream 6 came out along with IKWYDLS, I enjoy these films, I just recently got the sequels, I'm not in a hurry to watch those, lol

[@rickidaykin2313]

Loved this film back in the day.

[@goldenj2694]

You were referring to Jim Carrey's rant to Jennifer Tilly's character in Liar Liar (1997). A very fun and truly underrated film. 💯😂😂😂😂

[@immortal_wake278]

DING DING DING DING DING how much that's a meme cause of this movie 😂 Rebecca Gayheart really played a good crazy character!

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

She was awesome!

[@laquitasmith6774]

Loved her and that line is a classic!!

[@meanz6287]

Urban Legend, I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream are the trinity slashers of the late 90's I like Urban Legend over I Know What You Did Last Summer and between this movie the most dark of the 3 and I love the opening scene with Natasha Wagner and Brad Dourif characters definitely up there with Scream opening scene and I like the kills are based off of urban legends that's creative.

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

Yeah I love the kills based on Urban Legends! Movie doesn't get enough credit for that

[@meanz6287]

@@WeWatchedAMovie It's a shame to it is a guilty pleasure of a movie and I like the cast.

[@_heresjohnny]

Love the Tara Reid chase through the radio station

[@christineKT]

LOVE Urban Legend. This was the sweet spot for much of the cast between beginner projects, and ones that would make them bigger names. Well written, well cast, well acted, and a ton of fun. If we had known back then that fast forward about a decade, Brad Dourif would play Danielle Harris' dad in a Halloween reboot experiment by Rob Zombie (who musically seemed to peak around the time Urban Legend came out...). Thank you Mike!

[@staylurking4461]

Brenda motive is like a motive you'll hear from whoever Ghostface is I like her motive she's a scorned lover seeking vengeance after her fiancee was murdered talk about being loyal.

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

ITS THE MILLENIUM! MOTIVES ARE INCIDENTAL! lol

[@mr.checkyourself4672]

I like Urban Legend and Rebecca Gayheart played a really good killer funny she was going to be a Ghostface in Scream 2 but that script was scrapped and she plays a killer in this movie and Brenda kills was creative and brutal.

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

Totally agree her reveal was inspired and off the rails. Love it!

[@mikestacks4155]

I think the wall read: aren't you glad you didn't turn on the light's ! Just wanted to contribute to the video , Mike !

[@DesiSJ]

Behind Scream, this was my favorite Scream like movie that came out. I just had SO much fun with it. I also thought the killer was amazing when they really got to be unhinged. They just went for it. It was very reminiscent of Matthew Lillard in Scream. Also, shout out to Brad Dourif's cameo. I kinda love that we got Chucky and Freddy in the same movie, even if they didn't share a scene. Danielle Harris too. There were SO many horror icons just peppered through there. Its great. This movie did for backseats what Final Destination did for log trucks lol Also, Liar Liar is still one of my favorite Jim Carrey movies. "Bad baby, bad baby"

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

Totes mcgoats may be my favorite too! Gonna have to rank all of them when I'm done

[@michaelfarrer3044]

Beautifully said! I love this movie so much.

[@mayor7w743]

I really like this review, Urban Legends is still one of my favorite slashers. I really like that people still remember him, I'm even still waiting for the sequel. I love Brenda, she's probably one of the funniest maniacs in slashers, she reminds me of Stu, she's just as funny and even has fun to the fullest in the finale! I express my great gratitude to such people who still remember this diamond. "I already tried therapy! Obviously, it did me no good, Natalie" - Brenda Bates.

[@rmjmoviereviews6876]

I remember seeing this at a dollar movie theater back in 1998 at 17 years old. I always liked it minus the ridiculous killer reveal ending and pook fake out scene. Plus! Chris Young's score has some nice homages to Harry Manfredini Friday the 13th films sprinkled throughout.

[@spikeybwoy]

I have always had a real soft spot for this movie and love that the whole thing is told like one big Urban Legend

[@j2174]

"Maybe its Maybelline, maybe its crazy b*tch!" HAHAHA that needs to be a line in a horror film

[@justineharper3346]

This used to be a staple in my slasher movie nights. I haven’t watched it in at least 15 years. I totally forgot Jared Leto was in it.

[@kandicejanusz1829]

I really liked it. The urban legend about the pop rocks was the kid who played Mikey in the Life cereal commercials did that and died. Now I'm going to have to watch the 1st one again. Go back to when Jared Leto was right out of My So-called Life.

[@Myersmad316]

i have to say, i love urban legends, i actually saw this movie before i saw scream so had no idea it was an actual influenced movie by Scream. I really enjoyed this especially with Robert Englund being involved, the opening sequence was brilliant and the twist ending was also really well done. Great movie.

[@chaesshorts]

I love this movie. I and 2. I loved them when they came out. I didn’t mind the scream look alikes as long as they were fun and UL was fun!

[@screamfan]

Oooh, you’re reviewing Gossip? 🤩 I’ll have to go back and rewatch that but I loved Lena Headey in it and enjoy the twists. Regarding Urban Legends, it’s a fun horror flick and I didn’t guess the killer. I like a movie that can surprise me with the reveal. 🙌

[@PopCultureWithPat]

Love Urban Legend! I'm almost surprised we haven't gotten a remake of this yet

[@MrParkerman6]

Don't give them ideas!!! We don't need any Scream, etc. Remakes. Scream 5 and 6 we're close enough and they suck.

[@duelcomplexity]

[@jaguarrose7022]

As a legit 90s kid I'm happy to say I owned this movie (and Scream 3) on VHS!!

I wish Danielle Harris was in this more. I love tf out of her.

[@adamcontreras780]

Definitely liked watching this back in the day when it came out

[@sierraashley023]

I've been watching horror and thriller genre since I was like 10 (so approximately two decades now). Haven't found anything that tops Scream in my opinion. But a lot of 90-early 2000s movies are my go-to "comfort shows" 😅 I watched this yearssss ago and recently found it streaming on something, so I made my "horror obsessed" boyfriend watch it because he's never seen it. I also had to introduce him to the langoliers, sometimes they come back, rose Red, joy ride, ghost ship, and identity (and he calls himself a horror fan 🙄) haha. Urband Legend is a great movie though. Easily a yearly rewatch-er for me

[@MrCreative242]

When she said “ I guess you can say I’m a little nutty” 😂 my favorite line in the movie! #Classic

[@NEN1998]

I watched this way after scream (which was the film that got me into horror) and i LOVE IT!! i mean the cast is stacked Lex Luthor and Joker in the same movie (haha) rebecca Gayheart Joshua Jackson (both coming off of Scream 2) and freddy Kruger himself Robert Englund. the writing is tight and funny imo this is the best 90s horror film behind the og scream

[@stevenbinger704]

Hey Mike your channel is such a treat for all of us horror fans thank you for doing what you do on the other hand we need to strike for a nightmare on elm street 😢

[@Stumme-40203]

Godamnit! You have to put out a review for this movie when I’ve been meaning to watch it for months. Got my plans for tomorrow. Can’t wait to watch the review afterwards.

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

Hope you enjoy it my friend!

[@kylerfisher5254]

Man I think one of the main reasons you’re so entertaining to watch is the fact that you are unapologetically yourself. Censorship and whiney criticism has caused some people’s content to turn to shit, but you always keep it real and I respect that

[@BraxtonWages]

Great cast. Especially the horror alumni Robert Englund, Brad Douriff and Danielle Harris. Didn’t like what happens to Gayfart’s character though lol

[@travisjackson3076]

[@jennmoslek921]

If they really want to F with people, they should put Joshua Jackson in the next Scream movie, name his character Pacey & set it in a small town surrounded by a creek! Lol

[@lallana2882]

I'm watching Fatal Attraction..first time I haven't liked Joshua Jackson in a role.

[@jeffr23817]

I have loved this movie since it first came out! And I've recently been rewatching it on the Scream Factory Blu-ray that came out a few years ago, along with the making of special features and the commentaries! Two things I found very interesting while watching them though. The college crest that the production crew created for the college in the movie.... There is a Latin phrase on it that translates to, "The best friend did it." lmao Clever as hell! And Tara Reid almost died in this movie! She did all her own stunts and the ax used in her chase/death scene was a real ax! So it came within like an inch of connecting with her face when the killer comes around the corner and just misses with the swing!

[@sebastienlinck4908]

This is my favorite slasher movie of all time! I know it's not the scariest but I'm the most nostalgic for this slasher than all the others but I love the urban legend aspect and it has one of the best chase sequences in a slasher film with Tara Reid. I will say Sarah Michelle Gellar's chase scene in I know What You Did Last Summer did a great job as well! These series are definitely underated compared to the Scream franchise

[@adkinneyam]

This was one of those classic rentals from my youth. The Shout Factory release is great. Fun movie.

[@Buffalosabskis]

I actually really enjoy this film. It was kind of a break out the 6 pack thing if it came on FX or something back in college. The ending is kind of dumb, but the idea is interesting enough. Even the sequel was not bad..... It just wasn’t good either haha

[@MaliceInCandyland]

Thank you for covering the movie with respect. I tried watching some videos about it and they just dragged it through the mud and wrote it off as a knockoff. But, to me, it's like Scream in some ways but feels more like The Faculty and Disturbing Behavior.

[@TensaZangetsu59]

This is an absolute guilty pleasure for me! I loved "Scream" when it came out and "Urban Legend" looked SO similar and thought "Well that means it gotta be awesome too"!...Not so much lol but I get a kick out of the premise, cast, and kills.

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

Right? I think I poo poo'ed it when it release but now I really appreciate it

[@laquitasmith6774]

@@WeWatchedAMovie 2nd film far better than the 3rd no question ha & definitely another one of my guilty pleasures but I think the 3rd film just falls victim to the CGI craze era of the mid 00s, could of been worse though ha 😏🤙

Hell yeah dude! This is a forgotten gem for sure. I plan on reviewing this trilogy pretty soon as well.

[@WeWatchedAMovie]

Right on!

[@n1kkmoviezz463]

One day I gotta see these scream type movies

[@H0lyMoley]

I have a lot of fun with this one - the Parker kill may be the best in any of these movies, the triple Urban Legend thing absolutely hits - but it has its problems. Particularly some of the killer's dialogue at the end. ("I guess I am a little... nutty." Four people got paid to check this dialogue folks. It's in the credits. I checked.) I'm amazed you didn't mention Loretta Devine. She doesn't have a large role but man, she makes the most of it. Possibly the most fun character. Tara Reid is great, Michael Rosenbaum is great, Joshua Jackson is great and should've been in this thing WAY more. And there are some lovely little touches. Like the girl at the start singing "Turn around" to "Total Eclipse of the Heart" while the killer is behind her. Now THERE'S a Scream throwback. "Turn around, Jamie! Turn around!" On the negative side... I kinda hated the final girl. One of the worst final girls easily. Even thinking back to the movie now, I can't think of a single thing she does in this movie except act kinda shifty and complain. She does a lot of that. It feels like one of those movies where the cast gets killed off in reverse order of interest, so the three least charismatic characters are left at the end. (Plus Loretta Devine, who they had the good sense to not kill off.) I also found it super obvious who the killer was. As soon as they set up Gayheart as Witt's love-rival, I was like "It's her." I don't think there was anybody else I even slightly suspected, except Joshua Jackson at the very beginning, and that got scotched when they killed him off. The scene where Witt's character "confesses" to Gayheart (this is how bad the final girl is, she's the only one of the main cast whose character name I can't remember) about the guy she accidentally killed just nailed it down for me. I was like "You realise you're saying this to his girlfriend, right?" Even when I figure out the killer I like there to be at least something at the end that surprises me in these movies, and there was nothing here. Still a fun movie, if flawed.

[@laquitasmith6774]

I loved the beginning as well with the killer in the backseat the entire time and the gas station attendant trying to warn her!!
